Dr Jo Clements interviewed us about our collaboration and the ‘Nothing remained unchanged but the clouds’ publication and community engagement. We spent a lovely hour and a bit chatting about working together, and my community engagement.
“Welcome to The Grateful Web with Dr Jo Clements. This week I’m joined by artists Alan Ward @alanjward_axisdesign and Jeffrey Knopf @jeffrey_knopf to talk about their collaborative exhibition ‘Nothing Remained Unchanged but the Clouds’.
Do tune in to this fascinating conversation about a project that started out with one slide bought on ebay during lockdown that developed into an amazing collaborative project with participants from a whole French village.
Developed through eventual residencies in Grandpré in the French Ardennes, the project weaves together photography, text, 3D scanning, and community participation to create a kind of living archive — where fragments of memory (personal, historical, imagined) are held, reshaped, and seen anew.
Alan brings a deep sensitivity to narrative and sequencing, shaped by decades as a book designer, while Jeff’s use of mobile 3D scanning introduces a fascinating instability — where objects blur, shift, and take on new meanings.” Jo Clements
